Beit known that I, GEORGE LAUTERER,`a

citizen ofthe United States, residing at Chi-` Gago', in the lcounty of Cooky and State of Illinois,`have invented afnew and useful Peram- -bulator, of which the following is a speciiical tion. l U i v My invention relates toimprovements in perambulators used in initiatory exercises in yr o Q the sensations 'as lof diverse and sundry which the candidate is caused to experience movementsof the body and arms; and the v'j lobjects of my invention are to provide a bed vwhich yoscill'ates in a number of directions in conjunction with. a running-gear provided.

with an axle-crankand elliptical or circulary wheels adaptedto produce in the candidate thesensation of gyrating and flying as a bird.

Iy attain these; objects by themechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in

v`Figure 1 isaperspective of the perambulator, showing the candidate inv position on thelbedl Fig.` 2f is a modi-iication showin elliptical wheels.t Fig. 3 shows .a Asecon modified form of fulcrum for the bed in combin'ation with a spiral spring. Fig. 4 shows ak third modification substituting the bump- 'l ers ggfor the spring p. Fig.'5 shows a fourth modification of such fulcrum, consistel ing of a universal `joint in' connection with supporting-springs, f

Indet'ail, a visthe frame,`which rests, by means of'suitable journals, upon theaxle b and is provided `with the swivel-wheel c.

f Uponthe frame a isa stand d, formed of the y secured to the framed.

uprights ceand the braces f f, and is rigidly g is arod extending through the apex of the standd and forms the shaft 'upon which the bed h oscillates.

f l At the forward. end the bed h is provided with'a pitman t, which connects with the l crank j, formed integrally with the axle b.

- The wheels 7c k are rigidly iixed to the axle b,

'f45` causes a vertically-oscillating seesaw motion so that the movement of the perambulator fof the bed h. .At each side of the bed 7L is hinged an arm @which at the outer endis loosely-supported on the iramea by means of the rod m, sov that `the movement of the bed h causesa contra movement of the arms Z l. yln, the modification Fig. Z the wheels of -therunning-gem', as shown in Fig. 1, are in the ellipticalform lc jk', so as to afford sundry rigidly secured to the bed h and is movably i pivoted upon the yrod n and stirrup o. Thel spring p passes over the rod n and is iixed at one end to the stirrup o and at the opposite end to the rod n, thus permitting an oscillating seesaw `movement of the bed h, as

well as a longitudinal movement, in so far as the backward and'forward thrust of the bed h shall be dependent upon the size and tensile strength of the spring in conjunction with ythe pushingand pulling force of the pitman and crank-axle. The spring is adapted to prevent the bed from falling too far backward or forward. l

` In the modification Fig. 4 the arts are as described in the modification, ig..3, except that for the spring 'p are substituted the bumpers gto permit only a reasonable thrust of t e upright e3'. j

The modiiicationFig. 5 shows the stand e4 rigidly secured to the frame a and provided witha ball at its apex adapted to receive the socket part which is fixed to the bed 71 thus permitting the bed to oscillate in any direction subject to the restraint of the springs rr. l thus provide a primary motion to the bed h, a dierential movementto the arms l Z, and any number of subsidiary'movements by means of the elliptical wheels.

What I claim isl. In perambulators, the combination with the runningear, of a bed permanentl pivoted u on sai gear andprovided wit arms, an means for relatively oscillating said bed and arms substantially as described.
